Patients Undergoing Pancreatic Surgery at the Antwerp University Hospital.

Plain-language summary
There is a need for a structured registry to collect real-world data on patient characteristics, surgical strategies, perioperative outcomes, and long-term results. Such a registry will provide insights into quality of care, support benchmarking, and form the basis for clinical and translational research.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is no longer recruiting new patients — does that mean there's any chance I could still be included, or is that window completely closed?
2Since this study is tracking 90-day mortality after pancreatic surgery, what does that tell us about the kinds of risks your surgical team is specifically trying to understand and reduce for patients like me?
3My diagnosis could be either a benign tumor or a malignant one — how does that distinction affect what the researchers might learn from this study, and does it change the risks of the surgery itself?
4Because this trial doesn't have a traditional phase listed, it sounds more like an observation study than one testing a new treatment — does that mean patients in it receive standard-of-care surgery, or is anything experimental involved?
5Rather than waiting to see if this study's results become available, would you recommend I pursue surgery now at a center like this one, and how would you weigh that against other treatment options given my specific diagnosis?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
